I sat here and cried watching this. What power and healing God has if we let Him. I am so amazed of his grace and love for me.

here are the lyrics to the song in the video:

How He Loves Us

Verse 1:He is jealous for me,Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.When all of a sudden,I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,And I realise just how beautiful You are,And how great Your affections are for me.

Pre-Chorus:And oh, how He loves us so,Oh how He loves us,How He loves us so

Chorus 1:Yeah, He loves us,Oh how He loves us,Oh how He loves us,Oh how He loves.Yeah, He loves us,Oh how He loves us,Oh how He loves us,Oh how He loves.

Verse 2:We are His portion and He is our prize,Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss,And the heart turns violently inside of my chest,I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,When I think about, the way…

Chorus 2:He loves us,Oh how He loves us,Oh how He loves us,Oh how He loves.Yeah, He loves us,Oh how He loves us,Oh how He loves us,Oh how He loves.

*Verse 3:Well, I thought about You the day Stephen died,And You met me between my breaking.I know that I still love You, God, despite the agony.…They want to tell me You’re cruel,But if Stephen could sing, he’d say it’s not true, cause…

Chorus 3:Cause He loves us,Oh how He loves us.Oh how He loves us.Oh how He loves.Yeah, He loves us,Oh how He loves us,Oh how He loves us,Oh how He loves.*

It's been awhile since I have written on my little blog. Here are some things I have been up to the past couple months.

~ MY old college roomie, Mivvi, got married in Birmingham. My best friend Katie and I took a little road trip down there to go. It was a lot of fun and so good to see Miv so happy.

~I went down to Atlanta for my bday. I am now 26. I remember when that seemed SO OLD. I don't feel like a 26 year old, granted I don't know what it is supposed to feel like. Anyways it was a really special time a bunch of my girls came in from all over to celebrate. My friend from Furman, Jess, and her mom and I went to the World of Coke. As much as I go to Atlanta I never do the "tourist" stuff. We had a lot of fun. Then it was time to celebrate! We went to dinner at Shout and then out to a club. I had a great time with good friends.

~I am still teaching 3rd grade. My class this year is WONDERFUL! I couldn't have asked for a better class. They are genuinely sweet and nice to each other. It makes life so much easier. I have some funny stories, that will be for another post.

~I am now the head coach for a middle school right next to my elementary school. It all happened so fast, but I am now the head coach. I made my team 2 weeks ago and we just finished our first week of practice. We have a lot to learn, but it is so much fun. The girls are good, but just don't know the basics of the game, when they learn them watch out they are going to be GREAT! Our first game is December 8th.

~On a not so fun note I had my first root canal on Tuesday. It was not fun, I hate the dentist and was dreading it. The doctor was very nice, but I just didn't care for someone shoving stuff in my teeth. It hurt tons after and the pain medicine didn't work. Oh joy, I was not fun to be around. Mom and dad are so sweet they brought me a Chic-Fil-A milkshake home when they were out doing errands.

~I am still living at home with the rents. I am loving it though. I mean other than the home cooked meals, wake up checks, breakfast before school and mom making my lunch, it is just great to be with mom and dad. It is fun to see them settling into their new home and this area. They are busy busy, I think this week they had something every night except for Friday. I gave them my tickets to the Clemson game this weekend. I knew mom would love it, she is such a huge fan of college football.
